Health and Fitness Journal

Ever notice how most health discussions are aimed at women? Men, it seems, are more interested in body building than eating to stay healthy.

Today I’d like to discuss a few common sense mens health topics. Top three myths, in my book, are:

1. Men are Muscular

Not necessarily. Most women would agree that masculinity is defined by body mass. Women prefer intelligence and inner strength to mere body mass.

2. Virility is the Domain of the Young

Sexuality is an important part of intimacy, and studies show that being sexual active prevents a lot of ailments. If you suffer from erectile dysfunction, why not grab yourself some cheap Viagra and get re-acquainted with your wife?

 3. Real Men Smoke and Drink

Remember the Marlboro man? Wow, he was masculine, eh? Yeah, and it was probably super sexy when he was coughing up a lung.

These stereotypes are outdated and unhealthy. Forget them. Real men live healthy lives.

If you still smoke, quit already. If you don’t smoke, don’t start.
